Chapter 51: Sales Comparison
In the era when there were no computers, it was difficult to count first-day sales. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but the questionnaire investigators sent by both sides in various places have a steady stream of feedback information.
"Our sales are out!" An employee rushed in, "The first day sales were 3.8w, and the readers' praise rate was 65%!" β
5.8w, based on experience, weekly sales are roughly multiplied by a coefficient of 3.3, which is 191,000 copies.
If there is no overwhelming publicity, the first phase of sales will exceed 50,000, which is already extremely rare.
But their purpose is to snipe Shonen Jump. Spent millions of dollars on advertising but only had this effect, and the face was not very good-looking.
"Isn't the praise rate too low?" The president asked with a frown.
"The positive rating is inaccurate in this competition." Oma said expressionlessly: "Our main work this time is Nagai Hao's "Shameless School",This work is relatively large-scale,Readers out of shyness,Will deliberately give low scoresγ In my opinion, it should be multiplied by a factor of 4 to be the real sales. β
With a coefficient of 4, that's 232,000. That's not a bad result.
"No one has tried **** tactics, do we really work?"
"No one can guarantee success," Sakamoto said, shaking his head, "That's why we set up a new magazine to test the market." President, I insist that this is a market with great potential. As long as you grasp the scale, you will definitely achieve great success! β
After thinking about it, it's already an arrow off the string anyway, and there is no way back. I had to nod and say, "Okay, I trust you, so I'll leave it to you." Since you want to use **** tactics, then please be sure to defeat! β
"Hey!" He bowed and said, "After three consecutive months of long-distance running, it doesn't matter if you win or lose at the beginning. Until the last issue, it is the moment when we uncover the mystery! β
At this time, the spy lurking in Shueisha also reported the news.
"Shonen Jump has sold about 70,000 copies, and the reader's praise rate is over 90%!"
70,000 copies, multiplied by a coefficient of 3.3, that is a weekly sales of 231,000. That's an increase of nearly 30,000 from the previous period, which is a terrible growth rate.
What's even more terrifying is that this sales volume is almost on par with its own projected sales.
A pressure continued in everyone's hearts, and millions of publicity dollars were thrown down, but the result turned out to be a stalemate?
"It's because of the Chinese's new work "Crayon Xiaoxin." The president looked serious, "Even though it's an enemy, I'm still amused by the plot inside." The fun made me forget that the other person was the enemy. This author...... It's really terrible, he alone is on top of the two pillar-level authors! β
Sakamoto said: "Please don't worry, funny manga is easy to draw, but it doesn't last long. β
"What do you mean?"
"Funny comics are a great way to increase sales, unlike other genres, which require a long period of foreshadowing. However, this does not mean that it is without drawbacks. β
Sakamoto commented, "I also thought about making funny manga, but none of my manga artists could take on the big job. It's tiring to laugh, and it's easy for the author to fall into depression. The more I push myself, the more I can't think of it. Generally speaking, an author of a funny comic can only write one of the most interesting works in his life. β
The president frowned: "But, as long as he insists on 12 issues, right?" β
"Three months? That's a very difficult thing to do. Sakamoto picked up the magazine and said, "Look, this paragraph can obviously draw three pages, but the other party only used 2 squares." The density of laughs is 12 times higher than that of other works! The denser its laughter, the faster it dies! It doesn't take 12 issues, I'm afraid that after five or six issues, this story will end in a hurry! β
I see!
President Long Yan Dayue, Qima is really his right-hand man, such an analysis, the enemy is really not to be afraid!
Seeing off the president, Sakamoto returned to his office. She locked the office door and stroked the cover of Shonen Jump magazine with her left hand, feeling the crushing skills of the other party. Her brow furrowed, as if a weight was on her shoulders.
The president can't see the biggest mystery in this, just because she can't see it.
How many characters have only appeared in Yinying's biography so far? Dozens of people.
And how many avatars are there?
Three hundred and sixty-five.
What does this mean? It shows that when the author is not over the story, all the characters are already familiar with him, and even the characters who have not appeared have already been decided!
In the impetuous comic book world, with this kind of layout and patience of the author, that is really terrible!
"Letting go of this author was the biggest failure of my life. Thankfully, I still have the capital to remedy it...... Now is the perfect time for me to make up for this failure. β
She remembered the cold words spoken by the other party on the tram before, which was a horror that made her soul tremble together:
"Maybe I can't make Chinese manga as good as Japan. But I can make Japanese manga as bad as China. β
She deeply felt that the other party was serious...... He was heading down that unknown and terrifying path.
Sakamoto Sakuma clenched his fists:
"The future of Japanese manga is up to me...... Even if you become a demon, you don't hesitate to do it! β
----
"Actually, "Young Black Feeding the Dog" is also quite good, but it's a pity that I met me."
Li Shanhe was lying on the sofa in the editor-in-chief's office, eating potato chips while flipping through his opponent's comics, "For example, let's talk about this "Shameless Academy", I am very optimistic about it and accurately grasp the thoughts of young people. Who doesn't love a girl's panties? But only this author dares to draw it. β
"It's too radical." Kuan Fukasawa shook his head, "I didn't expect Tsuma to use this method in order to win." This kind of unpopular stuff will disgust the reader's parents, and it may be banned soon. β
"So what? At least in the 12th period, it will not be possible. Li Shanhe grabbed the Coke on the table and poured it, and said nonchalantly.
The editor-in-chief of Fukasawa fell silent, unable to refute it. This is also a kind of vulnerability.
But, can this thing really be forbidden?
No one knows the future history better than Li Shanhe, **** is like a demon in Pandora's box, once it is released, not only is it not banned, but it intensifies.
Decades later, shonen manga without revealing their underwear was the outlier, and even had a special term for "service".
He had already secretly checked it on his mobile phone, this Nagai Hao is really a genius, specializing in painting things that others dare not draw, stepping on a tightrope, and creating a series of **** works. If you follow the original history, he should have been a big success in "Shonen Jump", and made selling meat the standard for JUMP comics.
I didn't expect such a ghost to be pulled over by a competitor.
Sakamoto is really powerful, with a unique vision, and only when such an opponent crushes can he have pleasure!
"Teacher, the enemy is so strong, are you sure?"
"Don't worry, we will win in the end."
ββ¦β¦ I think Sakamoto thinks the same way. β
Li Shanhe laughed: "Don't worry, it's still early, the 10th issue will start, and it will be the decisive moment!" β
To say that I was not prepared at all, that would not be enough.
Everyone doesn't know that Li Shanhe has added an easter egg in this issue of comics.
He specially painted a small theater with a self-portrait of a panda with his back to the camera. In the small theater, he personally appeared to thank the readers who supported him, and frankly left a small easter egg on the cover, hoping that everyone would keep this issue of the magazine.
Here's the easter egg: if a fan blacks out all the dead characters after the story ends, the blacked-out part will blend in with the background, and you'll be surprised to find that Reinhardt's battleship "Burrenshire" has become Willy Young's flagship "Hyperion"!
Two years later, the story ended, and the fate of the characters was settled, and he was already famous by then. This issue of the magazine will become extremely collectible, and your loyal readers can also make a small profit.
It's just two layers on the computer, which is one of the few things Li Shanhe can do for his fans.
"Teacher, the second issue has been delivered for printing, and the third issue is being urged. When will you be able to hand in a new story? β
"New comics, let's finish it in a few days," Li Shanhe drank the Coke and burped, "But it's a little slow to draw, editor-in-chief, can you help me find an apartment?" β
"Apartment?"
"Yes. I want to use an assistant, but now I can't fit people in the room I live in, so I have to find a bigger apartment. I couldn't apply for a number from the Housing Corporation, so I troubled Shueisha to come forward. β
"Teacher, you finally agreed to use the assistant?"
"Well, the first draft is complete, as soon as I move into the new apartment, find an assistant, and send the original draft of the new story in a few days."
As soon as he heard that it was related to the new issue, the editor-in-chief Fukasawa hurriedly said, "Okay, I will contact the Housing Corporation as soon as possible." Please rest assured that the cost of the assistant and the moving house, our elementary school hall is all covered! β
